Any strong feelings on iPap v Matto scoring this week?

I'd probably back the guy playing 80 minutes. Could be close though if Hands stays on the bench for Mattos minutes.

The big question for the Aardvarks is take Garricks 50 or back Ipap to get 51?

I looped DCE and iPap so my decision is easy

Surely IPap is due a 70+ game but has looked a bit disinterested the last few weeks.

Could've been a lot worse though, like 5

Is what it is, only 2 trades left and holding JDB for the final round (Also Moses & Hopgood) so have to be careful, have got 17 on the park two weeks in a row with no trades so that's good

You know there’s a genuine possibility that JDB doesn’t play again this year. Dragons won’t play finals, last game of the regular season off a 4 game suspension. He’s probably got an early jump on mad Monday

DCE never a doubt for me . I suspect Ipap gets around 52 which means I shd probably take the 50

I don’t think Ipap is disinterested (despite the score he was really heavily involved last week and so was Bateman) he just doesn’t get good service.

Nah, don't think bottom placed teams will rest players early. Also might be playing off to avoid a wooden spoon.

Cheers mate, currently have iPap starting and Matto not being looped over DCE. If Matto goes large, I think I have a way to get him in anyway

Ipap vs Preston for me. I’m H2H finals. Figured Preston safer and more likely to score against the knights than pap against the warriors but pretty 50/50. Anyone wanna sway me?

Here’s me thinking Graham was a red dot this week and I’ve got him at 17 with DCE at 18. Arghhhh the stress begins

the Tigers are two games back from the Dragons with a much worse PD, so unless the Dragons lose all of their next 3 games and the Tigers win all 3 of theirs, they're safe from the spoon.

Warriors revenge game

Easy 50 lol

Need to make a trade to field 17, have 4 left. What's the better use:

a) Robson to a hooker sub-580k (probably either Boyd or Koro)
b) MoFo to a mid sub-646k (either of the Kings or Lawrie, probably)
c) Robson to Russell or Lussick, MoFo to Horse. Whoever I trade Robson to would be my 18th man so would need them to continue to be playable.

No real standout options sadly. Think I'm leaning Robson to Boyd and hoping he can rediscover some of his earlier season form.

The real travesty is I think the Bulldogs have been the worst team and they somehow have 7 wins

Nice from DCE to make up for his poor performance last week (fantasy wise, he actually played ok irl)
At sub 50% ownership, he'll give my team a nice boost this round

You got Drinkwater? Move him to Latrell

Nope, I'm one of those dummies who got DEdwards the week others were getting Drinkwater.

Robson, MoFo, Kris, Graham, Munro my 5 red dots so gotta trade one of them. Only 14k bank so not much wiggle room.

Are there rumors that H Graham might play??
